Huh?… Stormy’s Lawyer Michael Avenatti Says HE KNEW Cohen’s Text Messages Were Tapped!
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 3, 2018 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/03/2018 11:24:28 AM PDT by detective

On Thursday the Secret Service admitted that they were wiretapping Michael Cohen’s phone lines.

Cohen is president Trump’s private attorney.

This means the Deep State has wiretapped and/or spied on Donald Trump’s administration, his transition team, his family, his business and now his lawyer’s phone lines. And NO CRIME OR CRIMINAL CONDUCT has ever been identified.

Now this… Today on MSNBC porn star Stormy Daniels’s lawyer Michael Avenatti said HE KNEW Cohen’s text messages were also being tapped!

I have to assume they all knew they were being tapped. But where does it end, and where is congress?

Why is Trump’s team not going on offense over this. It’s way past time to start arresting people.

When I was in fourth grade, some bullies did that trick on me where two distract me while a third gets on all fours just behind my knees, and then when in position one of the "front" guys pushed me backwards and I went arse-over-teakettle over the guy behind me.

That's what I think of when I watch what the combined forces of government deep-staters and MSM are doing to PDJT.

Who on Trumps team has authority to arrest anyone? sessions is certainly not on Trump's "team", nor is congress. Who do you suggest start arresting people? Trump himself?

Trump is no idiot. He has to have assumed/known that every communication he has said or typed has been intercepted for well over a year. If they are listening in on his calls to foreign leaders, of course they are listening in to his correspondence with his lawyers & anybody else.

Surely, his lawyers know this also.

Is Trump the most vetted world leader in history?

I think it is likely that Trump and most if not all of his associates have had all cell and electronic communication illegally intercepted and analyzed since before the election.

And all things negative about Trump have somehow been leaked.

And though he wasn’t my first choice because I thought he might have ethical issues, he is probably one of the few people who could withstand such intensive and illegal surveillance for such a prolonged period of time.

Charles Krauthammer interesting take on Mr. Trump

A TAKE ON DONALD TRUMP
A different take on Donald Trump: (a non-political agenda)

Trump Is Not A Liberal or Conservative, He’s a “Pragmatist.”

(Definition: A pragmatist is someone who is practical and focused on reaching a goal. A pragmatist usually has a straightforward, matter-of-fact approach and doesn’t let emotion distract him or her.)

“We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner with friends at the home of other friends. The dinner conversation varied from discussions about antique glass and china to theology and politics.

At one point, reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative, to which I responded that Trump is not a conservative.

I said that I neither view nor do I believe Trump views himself as a conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn’t see the problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of myself.

Viewing problems from a Liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata.

Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending and globalism to the detriment of American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife Deputy Sheriff, appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the ass of the Democrat Party.

Immigration isn’t a Republican problem, it isn’t a Liberal problem, it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another.

The impending collapse of the economy wasn’t a Liberal or Conservative problem, it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect.

Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work, they do not promise to accommodate.

Trump uniquely understands that China’s manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it.

Here again, successful businessmen like Trump who have weathered the changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work, and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn’t work, you don’t continue trying to make it work hoping that at some point it will.

As a pragmatist, Donald Trump hasn’t made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum wage for working the drive-through at Carl’s Hamburgers.

I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating more problems.

You may not like Donald Trump, but I suspect that the reason some people do not like him is because:

(1) he is antithetical to the “good old boy” method of brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians;

(2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a president speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who he owes vis-a-vis donations;

(3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology;

(4) he says what he is thinking, is unapologetic for his outspoken thoughts, speaks very straightforward using everyday language that can be understood by all (and is offensive to some who dislike him anyway) making him a great communicator, for the most part, does what he says he will do and;

(5) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again.

Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to “out crazy” one another. Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it, but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts is that people don’t give tens of millions without expecting something in return

We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us? Are we better off today or worse off? Has it happened overnight or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties?
I submit that a pragmatist is just what America needs right now. People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance, but that is common among those who have never accomplished anything in their lives (or politicians who never really solved a problem, because it’s better to still have an “issue(s) to be solved,” so re-elect me to solve it, (which never happens) and those who have always played it safe (again, all politicians) not willing to risk failure, to try and achieve success).
Donald Trump put his total financial empire at risk in running for president and certainly did not need or possibly even want the job; that says it all. He wants success for the U.S. and her citizens because he loves his country!

Sure does. How does Stormy’s lawyer know that Cohen’s phone was being tapped?

President Trump appointed Sessions to his “team”.

If Sessions doesn’t want to play hardball, kick him off the team and get someone who does.

Same with the FBI. The President can fire anyone there, for any reason he chooses.

What’s your recommendation? That the President simply sit still and wait for his enemy to lose interest, for the swamp to come to its senses?

How do you propose he "get someone who does"? congress has already said they will not approve another aj. sessions successfully deceived Trump into believing he was not part of the swamp. Add to that, mcconnel has never put the senate in recess since Trump became POTUS, and he is not going to as long as Trump is in office. So there will be no recess appointments.

Might as well. If the coup is successful, there is not much future for your retirement or retirement savings. Why would the swamp wast resources on any conservative, much less an older one?
